Socket 370 (also known as the PGA370 socket) is a common format of CPU socket first used by Intel for Pentium III and Celeron processors to replace the older Slot 1 CPU interface on personal computers. A CPU socket or CPU slot is a connector on a computer's Motherboard that accepts a CPU and forms an electrical interface with it A CPU socket or CPU slot is a connector on a computer's Motherboard that accepts a CPU and forms an electrical interface with it Pentium III variants Katmai The first Pentium III variant was the Katmai (Intel product code 80525 The Celeron brand is a range of X86 CPUs from Intel targeted at budget/value Personal computers with the motto "delivering great quality Slot 1 refers to the physical and electrical specification for the connector used by some of Intel 's microprocessors including the Celeron, Pentium II A personal computer ( PC) is any Computer whose original sales price size and capabilities make it useful for individuals and which is intended to be operated The "370" refers to the number of holes in the socket for CPU pins. Modern Socket 370 fittings are usually found on Mini-ITX motherboards and embedded systems. Mini-ITX is a 17 x 17 cm (or 693 x 693 Inches) low-power Motherboard Form factor developed by VIA Technologies. An embedded system is a special-purpose Computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions often with Real-time computing constraints
Socket 370 was originally used for the Intel Celeron, but later became the socket/platform for the Coppermine and Tualatin Pentium III processors, as well as the Via-Cyrix Cyrix III, later renamed the VIA C3. The Celeron brand is a range of X86 CPUs from Intel targeted at budget/value Personal computers with the motto "delivering great quality Pentium III variants Katmai The first Pentium III variant was the Katmai (Intel product code 80525 Pentium III variants Katmai The first Pentium III variant was the Katmai (Intel product code 80525 Cyrix III is an X86 -compatible Socket 370 CPU. VIA Technologies launched the processor in February 2000 The VIA C3 is a family of X86 Central processing units for Personal computers designed by Centaur Technology and sold by VIA Technologies Some motherboards that used Socket 370 support Intel processors in dual CPU configurations. Others allowed the use of a Socket 370 or Slot 1 CPU, although not at the same time.
The weight of a Socket 370 CPU cooler should not exceed 180 grams. Heavier coolers may result in damage to the die when the system is not properly handled.
This platform is not wholly obsolete, but its use is today limited to the above specialty applications, having been superseded by Socket 423/478/775 (for Pentium 4 and Core 2 processors). Socket 423 was a CPU socket used for the first Pentium 4 processors, based on the Willamette core In Computing, Socket 478 is a type of CPU socket used for Intel 's Pentium 4 and Celeron series CPUs. The Pentium 4 brand refers to Intel 's line of single- core mainstream desktop and Laptop Central processing units (CPUs introduced The Core 2 brand refers to a range of Intel 's consumer 64-bit dual-core and 2x2 MCM quad-core CPUs with the X86-64 instruction set Via is at present still producing Socket 370 processors but committed to migrating their processor line to ball grid array packages. A ball grid array ( BGA) is a type of Surface-mount packaging used for Integrated circuits BGA The BGA is descended from the

Most Intel Socket 370 processors (Pentium III and Celeron) have the following mechanical maximum load limits which should not be exceeded during heat sink assembly, shipping conditions, or standard use. Load above those limits will crack the processor die and make it unusable.

| Die Surface | 890 N (200 lbf) | 222 N (50 lbf) |
| Die Edge | 667 N (100 lbf) | 53 N (12 lbf) |
Those load limits are quite small compared to the load limits of Socket 478 processors.

In Computing, Socket 478 is a type of CPU socket used for Intel 's Pentium 4 and Celeron series CPUs. Indeed they were so small that many users ended up with cracked processors while trying to remove or attach a heatsink to their processor. On the other hand, Socket A processors had even smaller load limits. Socket A (also known as Socket 462) is the CPU socket used for AMD processors ranging from the Athlon Thunderbird to the
All Intel Socket 370 processors with IHS (Pentium III and Celeron 1. 13β1. 4 GHz) have the following mechanical maximum load limits which should not be exceeded during heatsink assembly, shipping conditions, or standard use. Load above those limits will crack the processor die and make it unusable.
